“We used to talk about the climate crisis as something that would impact our kids,” said Josh Stanbro, the city’s Chief Resilience Officer, in a news release. “But, it’s now clear that we need to take steps immediately to protect ourselves and our island quality of life. To succeed, our shared Climate Action Plan must reflect the wisdom and voice of our local community.”

During the meetings, city officials said participants will engage in a “game” that sparks discussion about the best way to transition Oahu to a clean energy future and meet its commitment to the Paris climate agreement set by state and city leaders.

Gov. David Ige and Hawaii’s four county mayors have set goals for fossil fuel-free ground transportation and 100 percent renewable energy by 2045. The Climate Action Plan takes citizen input and translates it into specific actions and policies required to achieve these broader goals by 2045.
